For Bai Zhi, his current feeling was quite a sour rush.
In the past, Shadow Puppets couldn't feel pain at all. Controlling one had been like playing a first-person VR game.
So before this, a Shadow Puppet had merely been a Shadow Puppet.
But after the Skill enhancement, the Shadow Puppet had effectively become his avatar. It could perfectly perceive everything outside—the flowing wind, the falling rain, and even physical pain.
—And pain was an important source through which humans sensed danger.
Originally, Bai Zhi had been rather indifferent toward this enhancement. It was fine without it, and naturally better with it. But at this moment, the bugged Shadow Puppet had thoroughly screwed him over.
Although he could sense the Quasi-Lord of Anomalies' location through the Shadow Puppet's head, in return, he was also forced to experience everything that head was currently feeling.
Being held in the other party's arms was still tolerable, but being slammed up and down against the ground... where the hell did this thing get such elasticity?
Watching the Little Girl walk toward the operating table through God's Perspective, Bai Zhi's expression darkened considerably.
